Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

But why... These are the cards you collected after working so hard to defeat the invasion of the Phantom Empire. They are the rewards for your efforts, so why...?

"I thought about how I should apologize to the victims for opening Axia, but no matter how much I apologize, no matter how many times I apologize, the hurt I've suffered will never be easily erased. I shouldn't be forgiven..."

Thinking about those difficult-to-understand "statements" that Ash had said, Snow White gradually understood everything and was risking her life to convey her feelings to the person who originally resented her.

"I won't ask you to forgive me... I don't think it's possible to atone for the innocent people who were hurt—"

The surging regret along with the "cowardice" running out from the depths of her heart blurred the girl's originally bright eyes, but even so, she still pressed the card on Iona...even though her hands were shaking.

"But, this is all I can give you right now—!"

"That's all I can do!"

Is that all right, Mr. Ash? Because I'm...Pretty Cure, right?

After saying this, without waiting for a reply from Snow White, she solemnly placed the card in her hand, raised her hand to wipe away the tears of regret, and the girl turned and left.

"Wait--" When Iona picked up the thick stack of light cards, she finally realized how determined the other party was and hurriedly wanted to call her, but Snow White seemed to be deaf to her and plunged into the battlefield with Ash.

Obviously, you should have wishes too... For example, you should have important people you want to save, such as the invaded and sealed Blue Sky Kingdom!

"Iona—" Sunglasses, arriving late, finally breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the girl still sitting on the ground and rushed over. "Really?! I was so worried... so many of these, are they all Light Cards?!"

"Yes, it was...the princess gave it to me..."

"She must have made a great determination to give up her wish."

The girl remained silent upon hearing this.

Cure Princess....You gave me more than just a wish, you gave me...your hope!

"You are not to blame... The real enemy has always been the Phantom Empire!"

Why couldn't I understand this before?!

"You've been fighting against them... You call it atonement, but that's already enough."

"So many Light Cards..." Sunglasses concluded after flipping through the card album Iona had collected. "Add to that the cards you've collected, there are enough to make a wish!"

"Iona, what wish do you want to make?"

"desire....?"

I don’t know, I never thought about it.

Turning his head again to look at the battlefield with Ash, the fact is that even with Snow White joining the battle, the situation is still one-sided and not optimistic. Ash easily repelled the attacks of the three people and simply danced the holy sword in his hand. With a flash of light, he knocked the three people away with screams in one move.

"Do you want to use the power of wishes to protect them and win this battle?" Seeing that Iona didn't respond, Sunglasses suggested.

"Or, do you want to use the power of wishes to save your sister?"

"I...I want to!"

After becoming Pretty Cure, not only did I not want more people to lose their loved ones like I did, but I also wanted to get my sister back who was kidnapped!

But if that’s the case, I really have no way to help them right in front of me!

Having to choose between the two...why would such a thing happen!

"Why not just make a wish and try to make the Phantom Empire disappear?" Iona's eyes flickered as she quickly asked Sunglasses. "That way, we can save Snow White's kingdom, rescue all the Pretty Cures and innocent people trapped in the mirror, can we save them all?"

"I don't know. While it's a wish that the meaning won't be distorted or cut corners, with such a wide scope, there's no guarantee of absolute salvation..."

Glancing at the girl on the other side, still struggling with the card, Ash raised his holy sword high. "Almost there, time to move the story to its climax!"

Let me help you cut through the confusion, all you have to do is make your choice!

"[Blade King's sure-kill guide! Read the Three Sacred Swords!]"

"[Star Slash!]"

The power of the three primary colors of fire, water and electricity transformed into the holy sword light, which slashed down on Hui in the front without reservation. The girl, who was unable to resist at all, screamed and cancelled her transformation the moment of contact. The two people behind hurriedly wanted to rush to help, but they were just touched by the aftermath of the sword blade and were blown away. The transformation was cancelled in one go.

"how come...."

Watching the three people being defeated in an instant, the girl opened her mouth in disbelief, and her trembling hands holding the Light Card made her feel uncontrollable fear.

As expected! Such an important wish shouldn't be considered just for myself—

"Iona," the man with sunglasses beside her suddenly spoke up. "This is your own wish. No matter how great or small it is, no matter who you want to save or who you want to disappear, no one else has the right to dictate your decision!"

"So, Iona, tell me your true wish, the one that belongs only to you!"

"Just choosing who to save, just choosing who to make disappear... I don't think such a wish is feasible!" Inserting the final card into the last page of the album, the girl solemnly closed the dimly glowing booklet before her. "Such an approach will only allow misfortune to linger... More importantly, my friends are suffering right now!"

In the direction Iona looked, the extremely evil swordsman was dragging the sword in his hand on the ground, step by step leaning towards Hui and the others who were lying on the ground.

I should do things that are right in front of me.

"Not by other means, but by my own hands—"

"Come and save everyone!"

So please give me the power to change!

"—!!"

Light!

It attracted the holy light of the Knight, Pretty Cure, and the Phantom Queen.

Once again, it appeared in this land that was originally filled with darkness and despair, soaring straight into the sky!

"Humph!"

Ash smiled as he carried the holy sword on his shoulder.

"It's here, it's finally here... The scene that has been haunting me, Pretty Cure!"

It’s worth my effort, he is worthy of being the person I like!

"This is exactly the light I want to see!"

Chapter 109 Resurrection! The Angel of Destiny is Resurrected!

When the girl's awakening mind merged with the gifts from her companions, all the light cards turned into a source of light that could provide the power of prayer. The rising light swirled and coiled around Hikawa Iona like a spiral, transforming the girl in the center into a bright being bathed in twinkling starlight, as if the crew next door had super-evolved.

"This is?"

The three girls were lying on the ground after being defeated and were still crying out in pain when another ray of light, different from the Ten Sacred Blades, shone over them. The light that passed by made them feel a warm sensation instead of pain.

"Again, stand up!"

When they saw clearly that it was the light coming from Iona, they understood what was happening and their excitement and surprise for Iona were beyond words.

"Success!"

"Yeah, it worked."

Even Ash would smile at the miracle that happened naturally before him.

As long as you work hard, you can do it.

It is also natural that there are people who cannot laugh even when seeing such a miracle.

For example, the Phantom Queen was sitting up from the soft sofa at this moment, tapping her fingers on the armrest in annoyance, showing a very impatient expression.

She knew that it was the miraculous light awakened by the friendship between the Pretty Cure girls. Not only did she know it... I had seen it with my own eyes. No, I should say I had experienced it myself!

The pure and innocent friendship between young girls is a wonderful feeling that can evoke happiness in people's hearts, just like "love", but it is also the feeling that she hates the most now that she has become extremely decadent.

"..."

The girl in the mirror, surrounded by her companions, made a wish on the card.

It seemed as if the scenes were too similar and reminded her of something. Her mood, which had been high from watching the Evil Swordsman beating up the Pretty Cure, suddenly dropped inexplicably.

Is the brilliant light I once longed for so much now so blinding to the filthy me? Haha... Three hundred years ago, when I was as clueless as they were about what lay ahead, moving forward with hope, how could I have ever imagined the evil, once despised figure I now am?

The people and events of three hundred years ago, that friendship and love, the same companions and relatives... Oh, in the end, everything has become a thing of the past, it's really... a thing of the past...

"My Queen!"

Phantom, whose face was still bandaged but who had been standing by her side the entire time, saw the sadness on her face. As someone who had been with her from the beginning and knew everything, Phantom immediately spoke up to persuade her: "Phantom Queen... Kaguya! Whatever happened in the past, to the Queen now... it's all just a thing of the past! You don't have to feel sorry for your past self!"

"I know."

Instead of scolding her as in the past, she responded to the phantom's admonition in a low voice. The nostalgia and regret in her eyes only flashed by for a moment before immediately turning back into sinister insidiousness and cruelty.

"Come on... Come on, Ash!"

Then he continued to focus his absorbed gaze on Ash, and on the Kamen Rider who was watching Izuna's "super evolution" with great interest in the mirror.

"Who cares if she's from Pretty Cure or some boring friendship-evoking miracle..."

"Any boring happiness that makes me sad... My knights, defeat them all for me!"

------

Just as Zhengchujian was standing still and watching the girl ascending to the West humming the super-evolved BGM, he was suddenly confused by the words he heard from a certain queen. After a long while, he knocked the sword above his head and pulled the corner of his mouth helplessly.

When did I become your knight? Think about the last time you knew there were other people like Mana and Goki. If they heard what you said... Let's not talk about all this for now. You are too familiar, aren't you?

"It's really depressing."

But never mind, I don’t care what others think of me.

It has nothing to do with what I want to do.

"Please! Light! Earth! This world!"

If you love your child, please give me strength!

"Please give me the power to save my friends right now!!!"

The light of prayer, symbolizing happiness and love, slowly poured into the remaining remains of the transformation device in Iona's hand. The sacred light reconstructed the matter, and the brand new card of light and a small portable piano lay quietly in the girl's hand.

"[Kawa runrun]"

"Ash, if you want to find an opponent to fight you!" She placed the Light Card into the "Fate Piano," which opened and played its standby tone. Standing before Ash, who opened his arms in welcome, a crystal diamond ring formed from the remaining light of prayer shimmered on the back of the girl's hand as she spoke. "Then I will be your opponent!"

"Okay, sorry to have kept me waiting!"

"Precure Kirarin Star Symphony!" A ring shimmering with starlight follows the fingers as they gently touch the piano keys in varying rhythms. The beautiful piano sound and the starlight on the ring combine to create a dazzling display of starlight! All the colors of starlight converge on this one and only girl at this moment.

The ponytail tied up at the back naturally turned into a long, brilliant purple waterfall that spread out downwards, and the star bubbles floating in the special transformation stance that naturally formed around the girl turned into the girl's new battle suit.

"Hmm..." Ash commented indifferently, tapping his chin. "It's not new clothes, nor is it a change of color or a change of pieces... Obviously, the transformation device has been changed, but the clothes have just been washed and made to look new. In the end, they are still the same set."

What a lazy new form! Who did he learn this from? Reiwa Kamen Rider? What's this supposed to be called? Awakened Destiny Angel?

"The shining star of hope in the night sky!" Throwing away the cloak of light covering her battle suit, the starlight ignited at her fingertips, along with the girl's clean and sharp movements, drew a hexagram of purple light that hovered in mid-air before her. "Cure Fortune!"

"Ha!" Sitting up and looking at the reappearing Angel of Destiny, the trembling Snow White couldn't hide her excitement and even clenched her fists and shouted. "Resurrection!"

"Angel of Destiny!"

"resurrection!"

"Don't... don't do that, Shimeruda, Undou..." The girl felt a little embarrassed when she heard the cheers of her companions behind her. Opposite her, seeing the hexagram array flying towards her, Ash raised the holy sword high, and with a flash of light, he split the star of light into two!

"Beautiful! Such a sparkling story is exactly the beautiful ending I want to see!!!" Ash exclaimed exaggeratedly like a poet chanting, feeling the power of the girl rushing towards him, which has pushed his mood to a climax.

Believe that the faith of trust and connection will turn into the power to create the future.

So, Pretty Cure—or rather, Miss Iona who has regained her faith.

What kind of future will you create?

"Come and see!"

"Who will decide the ending of this story? Me or you?!"

Chapter 110 Blue Blue Gold (Purple)

"Ash, you asked me this before, right?"
